Bahraich

Zaheer Khan, the first name accused in the murder of Ram Gopal Mishra, was trying to flee to Nepal when he was apprehended near the Raji crossing in Mahsi block of the district.

Islamists and their man Fridays have been blaming the purported playing of 'Tel lagalo Dabur ka, naam mita do Babur ka' song on DJ to rationalise the murder of Ram Gopal Mishra.

 "People from the mosque attacked us. I don't remember much as they attacked us. I was injured on my head and moved unconscious. The police brought me here," said Sudhankar Tiwari, whom Islamists attacked along with Ram Gopal Mishra on 13th October during a visarjan procession of the Goddess Durga idol in the Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh

The family of Ram Gopal voiced that their son will only be at peace if those who killed him suffer the same fate.

Ram Gopal Mishra's mother confirmed that her son's toe nails were ripped out when she saw his body, confirming torture inflicted on him, presumably by Islamists who killed him.

On Sunday (October 13, 2024) in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, an Islamist mob attacked the devotees going to immerse the Durga idol. In the attack, Abdul Hamid and other Muslims, killed a youth named Ram Gopal Mishra.

Some people feared that Abdul Hamid, at whose residence Ram Gopal Mishra was murdered, and his family already crossed over to Nepal following the murder in Bahraich.

A video of the victim, Ram Gopal Mishra, replacing a green flag with a saffron flag is being widely shared by apologists of Islamists to paint him as an aggressor.

Eyewitnesses of the Bahraich incident have alleged that when police used lathi-charge to disperse Hindus demanding arrest of those who pelted stones on procession, members of Abdul Hameed's family pulled the Hindu man and killed him.

A clash broke out between two communities during immersion of Devi Durga idol in Rehua Mansoor village in the Hardi police station area of Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, after Muslims objected to DJ music
